New Scholarship Opportunity: Jeffrey J. Eiben STEM Scholarship presented by River Point Technology
|
We are pleased to introduce the Jeffrey J. Eiben STEM Scholarship presented by River Point Technology, a new opportunity for seniors at Baldwin High School beginning in the upcoming 2021-22 school year. The scholarship recognizes students who demonstrate an ability to understand challenging STEM-related topics, can apply their skills to solve technological problems, and can communicate details in a way that makes it understandable to others. We will present the scholarship to up to three seniors annually. This scholarship was established through the generosity of Mr. Jeffrey J. Eiben, graduate of Baldwin High School in 1988, and owner of River Point Technology, an IT consulting firm. You can read more about Mr. Eiben and how his educational experience in the Baldwin-Whitehall School District prepared him for career success in the January 2020 article from Highlander Highlights. |

Little Free Library Continues to Grow
Little Free Library at Caste Commons
Thanks to the readers throughout the Baldwin-Whitehall community, the Little Free Library expanded its inventory to include periodicals of multiple varieties, children's books and educational materials, and is now furnished with a coffee table to increase accessibility. The library is located near the elevators inside Caste Commons and sees a steady rotation of books each month. The library is part of a global book exchange network designed to inspire a love of reading and increase access to books for readers of all ages and backgrounds.
We sponsored the Little Free Library in September 2019 and dedicated it to Kathleen M. O'Leary, a lifelong advocate of literacy and education. Ms. O'Leary donated nearly 100 books from her personal collection to serve as the starting inventory of the free exchange. BWEF appreciates your help in making this library a valuable resource to the community. Thanks to free libraries around the world, over a million books are exchanged each year.
